NANOTRIBOLOGY APPLICATION IN THE COINING INDUSTRY II - OPTIMIZATION OF LUBRICANT FILM
There are two kinds of reactions may happen in burnishing process. In one case, the applied chemicals react with surface to form an ionic molecule, and surface then be removed layer by layer. In the other case, the applied chemicals may react with surface to adhere on it. Although these two reactions are completely different, the the rubbing movement in the burnishing process increases the reaction rate in both case. If an extra layer remover is used, the first reaction layer will be kept on surface, and extra absorbed layers will be removed. Thus, a monomolecular layer can be formed.
